ANKARA, MARCH 30, ARMENPRESS: Turkish CanalTurk will screen a film
by Canadian Armenian director Atom Egoyan-Ararat- which is about the
1915 Armenian genocide. Before making this decision the company had
conducted a survey among 21,000 Turks. Some 18,000 said they would
like to see the film.
The Turkish daily Milliyet writes that a Turkish company that wanted
to screen the film in Turkey a couple of years ago had to revise its
decision after receiving threats from a youth extremist organization.
The CanalTurk, however, has cut off some scenes depicting massacres
of Armenians by Turkish soldiers.
